On Sunday, March 3, I (Rob) visited Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem, Massachusetts and gave three lectures on how pets communicate from spirit, based on my books "Pets
and the Afterlife" and "Pets and the Afterlife 2" (both best-sellers on
Amazon.com I'm happy to say!). 
Mariah, one of the
volunteers, coordinated the entire event and gave me a tour of the
amazing facility. I was amazed by the facility, the volunteers, and the
organization and care of the dogs and cats. There are so many volunteers
there - I was overwhelmed at the unselfishness and love that these
folks show every day. Amazing people. 
Each of my three
lectures was about 45 minutes to an hour long. Altogether there were
about 80 or so who showed up, out of the 90 who reserved a seat. There
were questions and answers throughout the talks and personal messages
shared. Sometimes it was quite emotional, but I got the sense that those
attending learned some things to help them recognize signs from their
pets in spirit. 
I enjoy doing these shelter benefits, because all of the money raised goes to fund the shelter food, medical care and housing- and people get to use it as a tax deduction!
I really enjoyed my visit and meeting all of wonderful folks that attended, and thank the shelter folks for doing what you do for the dogs and cats.
Mariah wrote me a nice note afterward and said "This was kind of a big one, or at least the biggest one this year.
Thanks again for coming! I think people really took comfort in it, and
it was also a huge benefit to the shelter! Everyone was so impressed and
amazed at how much it brought in!"  |
